Dr. Charles Foster

“As a child, my parents took my entire family to the chiropractor for wellness care.”

I loved going to Dr. Troxell. I looked forward to every appointment because I liked how it made me feel. I would go in for my adjustment feeling good and come out feeling even better. I saw many people with different kinds of health problems respond to his gentle adjustments. Watching Dr. T work was amazing, it seemed like he was working miracles with his hands and that he was the adult having the most fun……I wanted to be just like him.”

Dr. Foster hails from the heartland and was born and raised in La Harpe, IL. He enjoyed growing up on the farm and attending school in a small town. After graduating high school in 1976, he moved to Davenport, IA to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic.
